Adopt & Foster
Frito
Chocolate Labrador Retriever / Doberman Pinscher / Mixed • Male • Adult • LargeNo Kids
Friends,
Remember Frito, the sickly, emaciated lab mix we rescued from BARC a couple months ago? (see before pictures). Well, after some much-needed love, food, and patience, he has become this strikingly handsome, sleek and muscular, funny, puppy-like wonder dog!
Frito is a funny boy who just wants to give kisses and stand by your side. He has muscle and a beautiful chocolate coat. His hair has grown back in and just looks so gorgeous!
Frito is now ready to go to his forever home! Despite his awful beginnings, Frito is a very loving and loyal dog. He is housetrained and cratetrained. Now that he is healthy, he is full of energy and would be a great dog if you want a dog for running or other activity. Frito LOVES to eat and is very food motivated for training purposes. Frito is great with other dogs. He currently resides at Happy Tails where he plays with 20 or so dogs every day. Anyone adopting him would probably want to feed him separately from other dogs and not leave bones or treats lying around, but otherwise he would be great living with other dogs and enjoys their company.
Not only does Frito love his food, he adores his humans. He has a very adorable habit of taking things that belong to his foster mom (a slipper, a brush, a stuffed toy, a pair of underwear(!)) and placing them in a pile next to his food bowl. That is no doubt his way of saying "I love you like I love my food," which is A LOT of love!
Frito is also a good protector of his home. He insists on sleeping on the landing on the stairs once everyone has gone to bed so he can make sure everyone is safe upstairs and still keep an eye on the front door. What a remarkably good boy!
Frito's foster mom had to move, so Frito is currently residing at Happy Tails, and we would love to get him into a foster home where he can be a little more laid back. If anyone is interested in fostering this great dog, please let us know! While he loves Happy Tails, it is a lot of dog, and he so desperately wants to be in a home where he can be loved on by his humans. One of our volunteers currently spends time with Frito a couple times a week and has taught him a lot of good tricks and manners.
If you are interested in adopting or fostering this miracle dog and giving him the love and safety he so sorely deserves, please contact Laura at lcarlock@mac.com or (713)502-2542. Email is best. As always, Scout's Honor will cover all costs associated with fostering.
Thanks!
